fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders
Tumblr user aquilegiaformosa:
it’s becoming clearer that “being fat makes you diabetic” is actually misapplied observation and like, backwards cause and effect. insulin resistance is the main factor in type 2 diabetes. it was thought being fat made you insulin resistant. turns out it’s the other way round; insulin resistance causes the body to store fat at a greater rate. like yes, once the weight is gained it can then contribute more to resistance and things can snowball, but the initiating factor is not being fat.

Teaching people how to regulate their emotions is crime prevention. It's addiction prevention. It's suicide prevention. It's generational healing. It's how we stop raising adults who explode, implode, or shut down at the first sign of discomfort.
Emotional regulation is not just a soft skill. It's survival. It's the foundation of a society where people can disagree without dehumanizing each other, where accountability isn't seen as an attack, and where conflict doesn't always have to mean violence.
You want a better world? Start with emotional education. source

Various things that are called some variation of "pepper" in various languages:
"Pepper," seeds of the plant Piper nigrum, a.k.a. black pepper, used as a spice.
"Peppermint," a hybrid of watermint and spearmint.
The edible fruits of the plants of the genus Capsicum, known collectively as "peppers," which includes bell peppers, chili peppers, etc. (some European languages make a distinction between peppers and capsicums by using the word "paprika" for the latter. A word that is a direct cognate with pepper.)
Allspice, also known as "Jamaica pepper," "myrtle pepper," but also as "spice pepper" in Finnish and Swedish (I suppose as opposed to the kind of peppers that aren't used as spices?), the dried fruits of the plant Pimenta dioica. More closely related to myrtle, guava, and eucalyptus than pepper.
Horseradish, a plant of the family Brassicaceae, thus making it a relative of mustard, cabbage, and radish, known in some European languages as "pepper root." source

THIS IS AN ALL-OUT ATTACK. We will not back down!!!! Please share all the resources you have with loved ones. I have loved ones at risk of deportation myself and I know the fear and anxiety of wondering whether that loved ones will make it another day without getting abducted by the government. This information by @votolatino helped me feel more aware of what actions to take. Keep resisting, mi gente. Nos quitaron hasta el miedo. 💪🏽 source
“We come from stars and soil—from songs sung across borders.Migration is ancestral — written in our blood.
A river of hope flowing through us,our children lead the way.We rise with love,resist with power,and carry the future in our arms.
Venimos de las estrellas y la tierra-
de canciones cantadas a través de las fronteras.
La migración es ancestral — está escrita en nuestra sangre.
Un río de esperanza fluye a través de nosotros, nuestros hijos lideran el camino.
Nos levantamos con amor,
resistimos con fuerza,
y llevamos el futuro en nuestros brazos.
